Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your keys on the tray
By the bowl of bruised lemons
I held them like a clue
Like they might spell out your name
Time kept folding its sleeves
While I stared at the doorway
Distance made a house out of me
And kept your side empty
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the lock in my palm
I keep the scar on my tongue
Every minute says move on
But I don't know how to run
[Chorus]
Keys, keys, in my hand
Time slips through, I can't stand
Lost, lost, by the door
I keep coming back for more
Lemons on the sink
You and me don't even blink
Keys, keys, in my hand
Don't let go, don't let go again
[Verse 2]
Now the clock in the hall
Sounds like shoes in the hallway
I count the cracks in the paint
Like a map to where you went
The kitchen gets too quiet
When the kettle starts its crying
I slice one lemon in half
Just to taste what broke between us
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the lock in my palm
I keep the scar on my tongue
Every minute says move on
But I don't know how to run
[Chorus]
Keys, keys, in my hand
Time slips through, I can't stand
Lost, lost, by the door
I keep coming back for more
Lemons on the sink
You and me don't even blink
Keys, keys, in my hand
Don't let go, don't let go again
[Bridge]
If you call, I might answer
If you don't, I still hear it
All that distance in the room
Makes a ghost out of your jacket
I was never good at leaving
You were always gone by dawn
Now the lock learns my fingerprints
Like I belonged here all along
[Final Chorus]
Keys, keys, in my hand
Time slips through, I can't stand
Lost, lost, by the door
I keep coming back for more
Lemons on the sink
You and me don't even blink
Keys, keys, in my hand
Don't let go, don't let go again
